Tummy Tuck

This patient is 6 months post-op tummy tuck. She is 30 years old and had 4 pounds of tissue removed with liposuction of her flanks. She had changes to her abdomen following pregnancy and was not able to get the excess skin and fat to improve with conservative measures such as diet and exercise. The markings represent the areas to be liposuctioned (in circles) and the areas to be removed with the straight line across at the level of the belly button.
